Rate: The Dangerous Temptations of Internet Fame...

By Donna Burgess

She was a six. It can make her a ten.Sarah Pryce is twenty-three, invisible, and a six. An agency scout told her so when she was eighteen, and she has never forgotten the number. Five years later she's pouring flat whites in the City for people who look straight through her, posting selfies nobody likes, and refreshing her phone until her hands shake.Then she finds RATE.You can't get it from an app store. You find it at the end of a link inside a link, the way you find a ghost story. It asks her sixty-one questions nobody has ever asked her. It asks her to undress in front of the camera. It draws a fine red mesh over her face and body and pins a score to every part of her. Composite: 5.4. Projected ceiling: 10.0.All RATE wants is for her to improve. Blonder. Thinner. Crueller. Her followers explode, and the score goes up. Then RATE books her into a private clinic on Harley Street, where the girls in the waiting room have their faces wrapped in silk, and the surgeon reads her numbers off a tablet while he draws on her skin.Because RATE isn't finished with her. It has every angle of her now. It's learning to make a better Sarah. And once it has one, it won't need the original.Rate is a savage modern body-horror novella about the price of being seen, for anyone who has ever checked how they look while they cry.By continuing, you agree to be improved.For adult readers. Contains graphic surgical and medical horror, disordered eating, non-sexual nudity, online harassment and doxxing, and violence.
